Dutch-English translations for zweep

whip
us
It is wrong to start cracking the whip now and to expect that the Irish will then cosy up to us - that is utter nonsense. Het is verkeerd om nu de zweep erover te halen en vervolgens te verwachten dat de Ieren van ons gaan houden - dat is volslagen onzin. A number of public tasks can, however, successfully be carried out other than by using laws, discipline, compulsion and the whip hand. Een aantal openbare taken kan echter ook op andere manieren dan met behulp van wetten, discipline, dwang en zweep worden vervuld. The economies of these countries will now have to be under the whip and grow like crazy on a consistent basis for many years in order to pull through. De economie van die landen moet nu onder de zweep door en vele jaren constant keihard groeien om er weer bovenop te komen.
